Categories

Cleanliness
8.8
Multiple reviews note the property is very clean ('muy limpio', 'entire place is clean'); overall cleanliness is a strength.
Service
8.8
Staff frequently described as friendly and helpful, with several reports of prompt assistance; a few serious negative incidents (front desk inattentive/sleeping) lower but do not dominate sentiment.
Location
9.4
Overwhelmingly praised: right on the boardwalk/beach ('pé na areia'), excellent proximity to attractions and restaurants, frequent mention as the main positive.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed: some rooms praised (large TVs, beach amenities), but common complaints about small/tight rooms, door gaps letting light/noise and occasional noise from corridor or bars.
Amenities
8
Good beach-related amenities (chairs, umbrella, towels, large TVs, free coffee/water noted) but parking and lack of on-site wash area for beach gear were recurring drawbacks.
Value for Money
7
Location adds value, but guests cite expensive paid parking, inconvenience of parking location and limited included services (no breakfast option) which lower perceived value.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Sparse mentions; a specific complaint about no breakfast option reduces this score — otherwise minimal F&B offerings reported.
Overall Experience
9.6
Generally very positive overall stays driven by location, cleanliness and helpful staff; isolated but strongly negative service/infrastructure incidents noted by a few guests.

Best Location! Pé na areia!
Pros:

Localização, pé na areia, ótima posição no calçadão da praia, perto dos melhores pontos turísticos e restaurantes. Café e água disponíveis gratuitamente. Atendentes cordiais e atenciosos, eu pedi um colchão extra no meio da noite (os filhos estavam brigando pra dormir juntos), eles me atenderam na hora. 2 cadeiras e um guarda sol disponibilizados no quarto, para uso na praia, sem precisar pedir. Toalhas para uso na praia. Ar condicionado bom, quarto bem escuro. Ficamos em uma unidade dos fundos, não beira mar. Mas imagino que o som alto dos bares da frente podem atrapalhar quem fica beira mar.

Cons:

Falta um lugar para estacionar temporariamente o carro para descarregar as malas. Até tem, mas está sempre ocupado. Não tem onde parar na via, se estiver ocupado. Tem que dar a volta na quadra toda, na via geral, com semáforos e trânsito, aí quando vc chega no local novamente, está ocupado por outro veículo. O estacionamento é pago, diário, caro pelo que oferece, relativamente longe do prédio do hotel, mas na mesma quadra. Descoberto, as vezes não tinha disponibilidade, pois é uma parceira do hotel com um estacionamento terceirizado, assim, disputamos vagas com quem vem para estacionar para ir à praia, fim de semana, foi um problema e tive que aguardar para parar. Não havia na frente do hotel um local para lavar os pés e acessórios de praia. Entendo que a praia oferece esse serviço, mas estava em retoma e não foi possível utilizar. Seria bom ter um local para se lavar antes de entrar no hotel.

In a good spot if you don’t mind noise, expensive resort fee, expensive parking and quite expensive for what it was. Roo
Pros:

Right on the beach but also made it noisy into the night. Busy broadwalk but if you are looking to be in the thick of it then it’s great.

Cons:

The staff weren’t particularly friendly or helpful. Didn’t look up to say good morning and gave basic responses. We asked a number of questions that didn’t really get answered although when we had a problem with our safe they fixed it immediately.
